Unfortunately, one of the posters on here is called what my friend used for her girls: minkey.


Everytime I see a post from him/her, I can't help but snigger.


We used 'noonie' for when my daughter was very little, but now she's a teenager, it's all very clinical.

Fanny-Ann (courtesy of my Granny), Fanjo or much more usually - Vagina. (No surprises there!)


Never heard of Minky though, too close to 'Monkey' for my liking. Nooooooooooo!


HH, your post made me laugh out loud - I seem to spend my whole life saying "don't say 'bum' say 'bottom'" to my kids. It's become something of a family catchphrase over the years. I can just see their faces if I started to call a vagina "front-bum", I might just try it just to see the look on their faces!

I have a boy - but like Keef I will use correct terminology. (By the way - the outer bits are actually vulva and not vagina.) I can't help it- my mom was a nurse and I was raised to use the correct words. In fact, I wasn't allowed to say that a baby was in someones belly. My mom always corrected me and said "No, the baby is in her uterus." I was probably the only toddler who knew what a uterus was!


My mom also used to make us watch a video called "Strong Kids Safe Kids" starring The Fonz. A man with a guitar played a song about the names for all of the private parts. I still remember the verse on vulva:


Vulva is what girls have down below

Vulva is the proper word to know

So know matter how you say it, Just make sure you know

Vulva is what girls have down below.


Hilarious. My sister and I sometimes still watch it for sh!ts and giggles.


In all seriousness, looking back it was actually a great video and says a lot that my sister and I both still remember it.


Have now completely strayed from topic, but there you go.

Our girls must all be so confused by the lack of consistency!


Loving the 'vulva' rhyme in all its silliness. That was the word the scanning man used to confirm the sex of our daughter at the 17 week scan. "I am sure its a girl: that's a vulva". We were both a bit taken aback. Not sure why exactly, but probably not as taken aback as we would have been had he come out with 'fanny fanackers'.

    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
    • You don’t think there are right-wing politicians fanning this with rhetoric? Really?
